The subject Of road appropriations out
OF the county fund came up. This ia a
little early in the year, but It Is like death
and ta1es-sure to come, and only aques-
ton Of time. The committee asked for
appropriations aggregating S13,00 about
the same sum granted last year. Mr..
Speidel moved to defer action until the
next meeting, IS he was Of the opinion
that tho bill requiring county boards to
appropriate to the use Of cities and towns
which keep their own streets in repair a
certain portion Of tho county fund, had
passed the Legislature at its recent session.
He read a special telegram to the INTELLl.
GENcER from Charleston at tho time the
bill was under consideration, giving its
provisions and its bearing on the finances
Of this county. Mr.. Cruise also advocated
deferring action, and the motion pre-
vailed.
